***ESTHER***None of the students could look into my eyes now. They are all trying to do whatever they want to do except the one who is lean and thin.She stands in front of me and keeps on displaying her well-painted nails in front of me."So, you seem good in academics. Maybe too good. But that doesn't make you deserving of Caden. I have been eyeing him since the day I have seen him at the Fresher's party. So, you cannot just take him away from me. I won't give up in any case. Do you understand?" she spins around dramatically and moves away from it.Well! I have to meet another version of Natalie now. There might be even more. I guess they should meet each other instead of meeting me. They would have some unworthy fights with each other.I just care less about her and move out of the class hurriedly. I need to find him. I need to find Caden right now.I call his phone but the same again. He isn't picking up. I don't know what's wrong with him.Why the hell isn't he picking up the ph
***ESTHER***I keep on looking at his face with an expectation that he would tell me something about himself and Cohen. What happened between them and how did it go? But, I have been waiting for his words to be expressed properly since last half an hour but he isn’t telling me anything.“Caden! Will you please tell me what is going on?” I ask him one more time and this time I really want to hear what he has to tell.He exhales a long breath and puts his both hand on the table and bows down his head and rest it on the table like he is really frustrated to tell me. I am not sure what it is but with his constant behaviour, it’s obviously bad one. But I want to hear it how much bad it is?“Caden!” I stress his name enforcing him to tell everything but god damn! He is hardly speaking anything.“Okay! I will tell you everything. This morning when I went to meet my brother, he was over there. I stood in front of his door for a long time but nobody opened the door. So, I started guessing all
***ESTHER***He is grabbing my hands so tightly right now. I don’t know but there is strange fear on his face which is almost impossible for me to comprehend. I don’t know why are we running like this? I want to ask him but I think it’s not right time to ask him question to him right now. So, we just run.He pulls me inside a narrow alley in between two walls and we both hide between them. He is a tall guy with broad shoulders. He is hiding me behind his gigantic body.“Shhh…,” he shushes me while pointing his index finger on his lips. His eyes clearly tells me that I shouldn’t produce any sounds at all. I obey his silent order. We stay like that for a while, without any chats, without single voice of ours.This has never happened till now. The thing that we are together and loving each other and not talking with each other. Only the swift sound of floating air and our breaths are audible right now.“Let’s go,” I finally hear another word from his mouth but that word is also just a co
Chapter 67***ESTHER***Few years ago"Esther! Esther!" My mother shouted with the loud voice. Since that accident, our relationship has never been the same. She used to be the favourite and most adorable lady of mine but it's different now. Everything is different.A single accident changed everything around me, the people around me, the situation around me and even changed the perspective of a person who is left behind with me and it hurt more when it's your own mother.After being paralyzed for almost two months, I realized a lot of things through hospital stay. It might sound ridiculous but I knew my mother better than ever when I was bedridden and couldn't move at all.My mother never knew and I hope she never know the thing that she told me in hospital almost more than five times.Every time she visited, she used to tell me those things or I could simply put it as, she used to curse me.It was kind of funny but that was what I have heard at that time and I could never be mistake
***ESTHER***"You," his voice softens as he says that. I don't understand his sudden change of expression on his face. "Leave him, please. Let him go," I say as I look at Caden. He is stepping on his stomach and I can't help but cry when I see his step in Caden's body. Seeing him like that makes me infuriated. So, I push him away in rage and hold Caden's body. "Caden! Look at me!" I tap on his face and try waking him up. He faintly looks at my face time and again and closes his eyes. "No! No! No! Caden, you can't do that. Please wake up," I say but he closes his eyes again. How much strong is this man that Caden is so much weak right now? "Let's go," I hear the leader's voice. I look at his face all of a sudden. Did he say to go. I look at his face which is still watching me without a pause. I couldn't stop but look at his face with amazement for a while but the words he says after that shocks me more. "Call the ambulance for them and if someone asks what happened, tell them t
Chapter 69***ESTHER***My eyes fall on the floor as I get the huge slap in the middle of the hospital. For some reason, I feel ashamed and couldn't lift my eyes to look at the people. This has happened once before and it was my mother who it before. I was embarrassed in same way at that time.With eyes filled with more tears, I look up to him. I don't get it. I don't get why is he slapping me in the middle of the hospital.Is he angry that I risked his baby at this time?Yeah! That maybe the reason but I had to save Caden. How can I let him die in those evil and ruthless hands?Or maybe he doesn't even know about it and he is here for Caden. I don't know what might be the reason. So, I don't say anything in particular or try to explain anything until I confirm the reason behind this slap."You silly girl! How could you risk my baby's life? Do you even know what does this baby mean to us? Girls like you are nothing but just some gold diggers. Do you think I don't know about you?" he gr
***ESTHER***“Don’t you dare come near my son. If you don’t take my warning seriously, then I might have to take other measures to sweep you away from him,” he says. I have never heard him call Caden his son. To be honest, I am glad to hear him call the son but I cannot be glad alone because of that. How can I forget that he is telling me to get away from Caden which is almost impossible to me. Plus, Caden is in really serious condition right now that I cannot leave him alone in this phase. Yes, he is alone right now. I know his dad. I also know that there might be selfish reasons for him to call Cadan his son right now. He had always been ashamed of him and now he is calling him his son and without any hesitation means something is really off. “I’m sorry but cannot do that. I cannot leave Caden alone. At least not with you. Also, you cannot just sweep me away like this. I have your child and it’s growing inside me. You cannot just let me go just like that. You have to risk your c
***CADEN*** I can’t believe its him. It’s been months that I haven’t seen him. I heard that he had been in prison for last few months and I have heard that he is getting in for a very long time. Then, how the hell did he get out of that gaol so quick? The moment, I see him in the restaurant makea my heart pound hard and loud and it isn’t because of me. It is because Esther is with me at this time. I cannot let her get harmed because of me. I am solely responsible for his encroachment and I can’t let her get hurt because of that. As soon as I see him, I hold her hands as firmly as I could. I know how much dangerous he could get as I have already witnessed a lot of his crimes. A this moment, I want to disappear from the restaurant and become invisible, so that she wouldn’t be near me. How the hell did he even get information that we are here together? But that isn’t important right now. The most important thing right now is running away from him. I try as hard as possible to hide
